It seems my case doesn't get enough airflow, and I'm not quite sure why.
I've got a Lian-Li PC60 w/ 2 x 80mm front (in), 1 x 80mm back (out), and 1 x 80mm top (out). I've replaced all 4 stock fans with Vantec Stealths. My PSU also has 2 fans, which should help.
The problem is, my CPU temps drop like 6 degrees when I have my side panel off. My case isn't all that cluttered and I'm using rounded cables and such, so I don't understand...
Any suggestions? I mean, without making my case sound like leaf blower, that is.. ^_^ Do you think reversing the direction of the rear fan near the CPU would help? As it is, I've got more air blowing out than in, and the area around my CPU is in real need of some fresh air...
